Often a sleeper collection in Milan, Marc Jacobs pulled off another hit for spring — a mash-up of military uniforms and Japanese boudoir silks for the brand’s touchstone archetype, the East Village hipster.

Of all the male models, they choose one that's bow-legged? Plus, I think Mr. Jacobs has been too ensconced in his WEST Village townhouse to make it over to the EAST Village in the last five years. Where are these hipsters of which he speaks? They're all in Bushwick. And not wearing Marc Jacobs.

I guess this means EV guys are gonna have to throw out their itty-bitty too-short jackets and matching too-tight too-short pants. And shoes. At least we still don't have to buy socks, Japanese boudoir silks look kind of pricey for most EV budgets. That mostly goes towards rent and drinks at the 13th Step.

I would be more concerned about a Marc Jacobs boutique opening than his trying to graft some cool onto some ugly ass clothes. If you think Ralph and Hugo Boss aren't eyeing the EV already you are not paying attention to what is happening in this town.

"It's interesting" ... so are thalidomide babies. Gaunt, bow-legged, vaguely feminine and bearing his humiliating vestures with apathy -- it's the new man that you've always wanted, a cypher completely void of masculinity. At least you don't have to worry about her/him catcalling the ladies ... or protecting them. What brave new world that has such people in it.

Yes, because at some point all people will regret getting tattooed... I got my first tattoo at 15, some 25 years and many more tattoos later, I haven't regretted them or thought about getting any of them removed.

Hey! No using my husband as a cheap, easy metaphor. He dressed nicely, occasionally spectacularly well, and though he had his moments from time to time, he was far, far from strung-out. And a hell of a lot more masculine than the paradigm to which you are equating him. So don't be trashing or I'll have to hurt you.
